Fodor's Review:

Years ago when Ken Oringer opened his snazzy leopard skin-lined hot spot in the tasteful boutique Eliot Hotel, the hordes were fighting over reservations. Things have quieted down since then, but the food hasn't. Luxury ingredients pack the menu, from foie gras and tiny eels called elvers to the octopus sashimi and Kobe beef Oringer serves at Uni, the small but adventurous sushi bar set up in a side room off the main dining room.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

Creative special occasion place

Posted by bachslunch from US on 11/24/08
One of Boston's best and most unusually creative ultra-upscale restaurants. Splendid food and service. Reservations and dressing up are a must here.

Spoiled evening

Posted by durik from Boston area on 3/30/08
Rude service, being overcharged. The manager, Chris did not care at all. The worst service in my life in Boston.

An excellant choice

When some stupid politician started the Freedom fries, Clio was really a target in those days because they had a French maitre'D, but hopefully, it will pick up again. The food is wonderful.
